Orthographic influences in spoken word recognition: The consistency effect in semantic and gender categorization tasks

Role and activation time course of phonological and orthographic information during phoneme judgments

“…Coherently with this claim, the literature on aphasic patients also suggests a double dissociation between impairments in speech comprehension and in metaphonological abilities (Baker, Blumstein, & Goodglass, 1981;Miceli, Gainotti, Caltagirone, & Masullo, 1980). Following this line of argument, it is likely that the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of orthographic effects in speech recognition tasks Peereman, Dufour, & Burt, 2009;Ventura, Morais, Pattamadilok, & Kolinsky, 2004;Ziegler & Ferrand, 1998) are different from the ones that support the occurrence of orthographic effects in metaphonological tasks (Damian & Bowers, 2009;Dijkstra, Roelofs, & Fieuws, 1995;Donnenwerth-Nolan, Tanenhaus, & Seidenberg, 1981;Seidenberg & Tanenhaus, 1979). One of our previous ERP studies directly tested this hypothesis.…”

Strategic Deployment of Orthographic Knowledge in Phoneme Detection

“…Likewise, where effects of spelling mapping occur in lexical-level tasks, they have mostly been negative: spelling-inconsistency made decisions about spoken words more difficult, for example (Peereman et al, 2009;Ziegler & Ferrand, 1998). Strategic responding, however, arises when a clear processing advantage is to be gained.…”

Does the ending matter? The role of gender-to-ending consistency in sentence reading

“…Several behavioural studies have tested whether the system would be sensitive to the presence of gender-related noun endings adopting a between-item comparison design where two groups of nouns were presented out of a sentence context (Bates et al, 1995(Bates et al, , 1996De Martino et al, 2010;Gollan and Frost, 2001;Hernandez et al, 2004;Padovani and Cacciari, 2003;Padovani et al, 2005;Peereman et al, 2009;Schiller et al, 2003;Taft and Meunier, 1998). The results showed that when transparent and opaque nouns were presented in isolation, participants were faster and/or more accurate in performing a lexical decision task (Padovani et al, 2005) or a gender decision task (Bates et al, 1995;Hernandez et al, 2004;Gollan and Frost, 2001).…”
